Electrical Engineering Summer 2027 Intern

The role

You will design and fabricate analog and digital electronic circuits, including op-amp, passive and active filter circuits, PCB design and validation. You will also develop next-generation, in-house data acquisition systems and electronic instruments to support fusion technology.

What you will do

• Perform qualification and testing plans on new or modified designs
• Support senior electrical engineers in design updates and documentation
• Fix hardware issues as they arise on integrated fusion generators
• Learn from historical engineering approaches, design novel hardware, and test your solutions
• Apply both engineering first-principles and method-based thinking to challenging problems
• Learn from experts to expand your engineering skillset and domain knowledge

Required qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• GPA of 3.0 or above
• Worked with board layout and circuit simulation tools (e.g. KiCAD, LT Spice, Altium)
• Worked with designing analog and digital circuits
• Experience applying engineering principles (e.g. making design trades while communicating progress and blockers)
• Ability to safely work with higher voltages, such as building AC or with high voltage (1- 10 KVDC) power supplies, and familiarity with electric and magnetic fields
